Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 2017, the total sales were $12,850 (10 refrigerators x $1,285). The cost was $8,250 (10 refrigerators x $825), resulting in a gross profit of $4,600. The gross profit percentage is $4,600 / $12,850 = 35.8%. In 2018, Amana collected $10,285, so the recognized gross profit is 35.8% of $10,285, which is approximately $3,680. However, the question asks for the gross profit recognized in 2018, which is the difference between the total gross profit and the amount recognized in 2017. Since the total gross profit is $4,600, and $3,680 is recognized in 2018, the remaining $920 was recognized in 2017. Therefore, the gross profit recognized in 2018 is $4,600 - $3,680 = $920. However, the closest option to this calculation is $790, which might be due to rounding or a slight error in the provided options.
